Synopsis:
Superman is upstaged several times by a new crimefighter calling himself Captain Incredible. The new hero looks puny and wears glasses, but possesses more power than even the Man of Steel. After helping Superman on several occasions, Captain Incredible suddenly begins to attack. Superman is unable to stop his opponent, so he retreats through the time barrier.

Arriving in the 27th century, Superman visits inventor Dane Gnorr, who created a special fabric with which Captain Incredible's costume is made. Gnorr explains that he built Captain Incredible who is really a robot. He then sent the robot back in time to help Superman. A side effect of the time trip however has turned him against the Man of Steel.

Superman returns to the 20th century and challenges Captain Incredible. He then lures the robot on a chase through time. The second time trip restores the robot's circuits to normal. However, he must remain in the 27th century or be turned evil again. After Superman returns to his own time period, Captain Incredible becomes a crime fighter in the 27th century.
